Publisher's Summary
Aiming to cash in on the success of The Beatles, American television producers created a television show that featured a quartet of fun-loving musicians, achieving instant success with The Monkees. Davy Jones, a young, aspiring actor was cast in the series, which aired for the first time on September 12, 1966. Within two months, the show had moved into the Top 20, and the Monkees' first single and album both soared to #1 on the charts. Pop culture, pop music, and Davy Jones would never be the same.
In this lively and entertaining memoir, Jones recounts his life and career—from The Monkees' beginnings to the 1980s reunion and revival—with funny, nostalgic, and revealing memories of the glamorous people and high-rolling deals that lie behind the scenes of show business.
